Viking
10th Century Viking
There are three layers in this typical Viking woman ensemble, the undertunic, the tunic, and the apron dress. The undertunic is linen, and the rest is all wool. The tunic features hand embroidered accents along the neckline and sleeves. The apron dress and the coif are also accented in simple embroidery. This apron dress was made to fasten at the nipples, a more provocative style that may have actually been very popular at the time. It also allows the dress to fit more nicely on a slender body.
